I'm not sure I can follow you here. The code that leads up to this is:

#define NORMAL_EXCEPTION_PROLOG(intno)                                          
     \
        mtspr   SPRN_SPRG_WSCRATCH0, r10;       /* save one register */      \
        mfspr   r10, SPRN_SPRG_THREAD;                                       \
        stw     r11, THREAD_NORMSAVE(0)(r10);                                \
        stw     r13, THREAD_NORMSAVE(2)(r10);                                \
        mfcr    r13;                    /* save CR in r13 for now          */\
        mfspr   r11, SPRN_SRR1;                                              \
        DO_KVM  BOOKE_INTERRUPT_##intno SPRN_SRR1;                           \

[...]

.macro DO_KVM intno srr1
#ifdef CONFIG_KVM_BOOKE_HV
BEGIN_FTR_SECTION
        mtocrf  0x80, r11       /* check MSR[GS] without clobbering reg */
        bf      3, kvmppc_resume_\intno\()_\srr1
        b       kvmppc_handler_\intno\()_\srr1
kvmppc_resume_\intno\()_\srr1:
END_FTR_SECTION_IFSET(CPU_FTR_EMB_HV)
#endif
.endm

[...]

So where is r8 held in a scratch register here? The only registers that I can 
see stored in scratch registers are r10, r11, r13

r13 however is in a scratch register / scratch memory location according to the 
code above :).
